Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. Whose brain is worth it? Are you suggesting packing a helmet in his suitcase, or searching for a Pattaya rental company that offers these Snell approved helmets? I see part of the Snell testing (I had to look it up, never heard of it before), is 'Flame Resistant Test', that would be for you!
  2. Probably anywhere you can cash TCs......Amex being the most widely accepted. No personal experience recently but most money changers and all banks.
  3. The only further comment is you may need to 'allow' pop ups for one or two sites. For me, this site it is not necessary in Firefox, and yet I still see the PM pop-ups. The only ones I enabled were my mail program and an Internet Banking site. That is why I suggested leaving on 'Show Notifications' for a while to learn where you need to do this. Cheers.
  4. Well avoiding the obvious,the woman who got a lot...of his Sondra Locke
  5. It sounds like 'hoy crang' (slightly nasal 'o' and short 'g') Try this without the leading 'yam'... And beware the Thai for shellfish, 'hoy' also is slang for pussy!!! You can have a lot of fun with that. (Personally I can not get the pronunciations right and am NEVER understood in Thai, they don't seem to have an ear for my errors!)
  6. Nice to hear of somebody doing well... but perhaps the currency fluctuation helped out too. 2004 would have made been a good time to exchange those USD. And the Pattaya condo market (it's rapid expansion in the last 5) no doubt very positive. Personally the Nirun would not suit me.... a one bedroom unit with a sea-view on Jomtiem might have. As to buy or rent, depends on a person's age and financial status. I see it as a renter's market at the moment, and a 65 yo retired single man whose finances are limited should not consider buying a 2mil condo he could rent for 10k a month and restrict his spending. Do you have any personal opinions on how the 'condo market' may go in the next year. Can the prices hold up, or go even further up?
  7. I just got an email advertising a 3 day new year sale. Dear Khun Handsome Man New Year. New Journeys. Let 2014, be the year you realise your travel dreams with Qatar Airways.

  8. Well -5hrs time shift (EST) makes that difficult but 8pm LHR-JFK (BA 183)
  9. Brrr.... colder colder is back!

  10. Clint Eastwood.
  11. I have a preference for what time I arrive! At the UK end, mornings, quite early. Time to get a train, home, shower, a cup of tea, then down town to the bank and a lunchtime pint or two. Landing in Bangkok, similar time, but maybe to get back to Pattaya and into the AC for a nap.
  12. Yes it reminds me of many meals I had at the smaller place that was just across the alley, (Sang Chan?) Some items were brought over from the Marine. Back in the days when I could afford seafood near Walking St!

  14. Planes, Trains and Auto-mobiles.
  15. Spaceballs
  16. The description from Gonzo nails it, but here you go.
  17. Although it does also say some passenger traffic by the middle of 2014. Whatever that means.

  19. Step One ...read this.....sorry but it is hard to keep simple. Does this look like one of your problems? As to Binary Systems...are you sure it is not trying to execute a binary file? Note what it says exactly next time.... but do not hit 'RUN' You can also block pop-ups in Internet explorer........ From Tools...(ALT-X...or click small cogwheel top right of screen). Internet Options Click 'Privacy' Tab Select (put tick in box) 'Turn On Pop-Up Blocker' I recommend selecting 'Show Notification when a pop-up is blocked' too (That is inside the 'Settings' next to where you would put the tick) Procedure also described here Beware, now you may be preventing some pop-ups that you need!
  20. I am not certain which clinic you are asking about, as a few have been mentioned in this thread. Here is the soi 6/1 2nd Rd place.
  21. A little concerned regarding the 'pop-ups' you get on other sites. Give us a little more detail on them...what do they say? (Thinking of some infection here) The other concern is as per BM goldeni says, it is the new Internet Explorer 11 which seems to have given a lot of people problems. IE 11 was released in early November for Windows 7, when did your problems start? IE when was the last time you had NO problem logging on via the laptop and when did you first have a problem. What virus protection are you using? Do you think you could handle installing another web browser like Chrome or Firefox. (It is always useful to have an alternative to try and help determine where the problem really is).
